    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sincerely thank the Cabinet Secretary for water, Sanitation and Irrigation for having performed exemplary well. Madam Cabinet Secretary, you are aware that recently we were with you in Tharaka Nithi County where we commissioned Chogoria water treatment plant with a very big capacity. Chuka treatment plant is also underway. I hope your Ministry is working on it besides all these challenges in making 30,000 connections in the next five years as we intend to go. I would like to know from your Ministry whether it is possible to rehabilitate the infrastructure at Chuka, Chogoria, Mutonga and Kivung’a? Those are water points that have been neglected for decades. In the same breath, it is important for your Ministry to also consider rehabilitating Mutonga rural water mill and expand Kivung’a treatment mill to the tank in Rancha. This are already laid down structures that have been neglected for very many years. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, once we have this water from Chogoria and Chuka, it can get consumed downstream to other parts of Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in Tharaka, especially Kibung’a, Marimanti, Kathwana, and other places. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the same breath, is it also possible to lay pipeline extensions in Chogoria, Chuka, Kathwana, Kibung’a, Mutonga, and Gituma areas? Under this kind of arrangement, we shall be able to address almost 75 percent of the water shortage in those areas. Thank you."
